John Larmer Editor in Chief at the Buck Institute for Education At the Buck Institute for Education (BIE), we've been keeping a list of the many types of "_____- based learning" we've run across over the years: Case-based learning Challenge-based learning Community-based learning Design-based learning Game-based learning Inquiry-based learning Land-based learning Passion-based learning Place-based learning Problem-based learning Proficiency-based learning Service-based learning Studio-based learning Team-based learning Work-based learning .

This post on Edutopia does a nice job explaining differences between project and problem based learning.

Printer friendly version in PDF KEYWORDS: Collaborative Project-based Learning, Problem-based Learning, Facilitation. The aim of this chapter is twofold. Firstly to support academic staff from a variety of subject disciplines in higher education in the clarification between two different learner focused strategies, namely collaborative project-based (CPBL) and problem-based learning (PBL).

Powerful Learning: What We Know About Teaching for Understanding. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass. A comprehensive review of research on inquiry-based-learning outcomes and best practices in project-based learning, problem-based learning, and design-based instruction.

This site has a good comparison of Project Based versus Problem Based Learning that helped clarify it for me.

This was a great site that I found that highlighted the differences between the two learning approaches.

In researching the differences between problem and project based learning I found this article about inquiry based learning that was somewhere in between. I believe that inquiry based learning is a stepping stool to project based learning and this was an easy read with good definitions.

I found this article to be helpful when defining the differences between Project- Based Learning and Problem- Based Learning.

At TeachThought, we're huge fans of project-based learning. While there is no magic bullet of practice, program, or framework that automatically produces progressive and effective learning, what makes project-based learning exceptional is its flexibility. As it is, first and foremost, simply a curriculum planning tool, so much other "good stuff" that can support learning (game-based learning, learning simulations, place-based education, self-directed learning, etc.)

Choosing an end product with project-based learning can be challenging due to the sheer number of possibilities. To encourage high-level products, it is benificial to know your students' interests and learning styles. We thought it would be helpful to some to jump start the creative process by listing a few project-based learning ideas that we've seen put into action.

This is slightly off-center for PBL, but the students love combining simulations with project-based, and this is a really fun way to do it.

"PBL Helps Students Develop Skills for Living in a Knowledge-Based, Highly Technological Society"

Demands on our educational system are changing, and the graduating student profile indicates the need for students with well-developed critical thinking, higher-level thinking, collaborative abilities, learner-centered study emphasis and a budding real-world skillset. Students will be "Never tell people how to do things.

Project-Based Learning requires careful planning on the part of the instructor. Keep in mind unexpected circumstances such as unexpected delays or timing of certain aspects of the project. Making the projects standards-based can solidify the students' understanding of material for which they will be held accountable.

This is a great informative article detailing some PBL resources. Some of these we have already explored, but there are also some new ones.

This site offers 12 great PBL resources. Many teachers need help when organizing and facilitating PBL and this site can lead them to great ideas and projects in any classroom.

This is a nice consolidation of resources on PBL. It was written a few years ago, but the links it contains lead to some up-to-date resources on PBL.

Nice reference. I have bookmarked this, so I can consult it in the future. Thanks!

Some awesome places to collaborate on PBL this summer!

Interesting presentation on PBL with ELL students.

A nice comparison of "doing" projects, project based learning, and problem based learning from Sarah Gaynor

As a teacher in a Project Based Learning (PBL) school, I cherished the projects I created. I worked diligently to ensure that all PBL units I developed were rigorous and engaging. They were oftenti...

Project-Based Learning is the anchoring of student-driven learning through the design, development, and publication authentic projects, products, and related learning outcomes. It is a forward-way of thinking about how you can plan learning experiences for students while simultaneously centering them in the learning process itself.
